After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism , Mohaideen worked as a script writer before moving to directing.Mohaideen obtained his Master of Art in Film and Television Fiction from Sheffield Hallam University, United Kingdom in the year 1997. He debuted as a director with the film Gemerlapan . Critics on Mohaideen ALthough he was known to direct several movies which achieved impressive gross collection (hence the phrase Mohaideen's Midas Touch), some critics claimed that the achievement is solely due to the movies' commercial attraction (i.e the popularity of the lead actors and actresses, CGI and sound effects, etc.) while lacking in the strength of the storyline, character development, and the script choice. His movies typically have plots which are both superficial and straightforward. His lead characters seldom brought impact to the audience. However, his recent development in directing movies shows good improvement, and hope is rested on him to produce an outstanding movie that would be greatly appreciated by his fans and his critics.

Excerpt: In Penang, Malaysia, the Suffolk House refers to two early residences built on the same site located some four miles west of George Town, Penang, on the banks of the Air Itam River(Black Water River). The earliest of the two buildings is notable for serving as the residence of Francis Light, the founder of the British settlement on the Prince of Wales Island, commonly known as Penang Island. Following Light's death in 1794, and with Penang becoming the fourth presidency of India in 1805, a newer Suffolk House replaced the original house, assuming multiple roles and was later neglected before its current restoration. The mansion and the estate it was built on, the Suffolk Estate, is presumably named after Suffolk county in England. Light was born in Dallinghoo, Suffolk in East Anglia. The original Suffolk House served as Francis Light's residence and has been described as a simple Anglo-Indian Garden House style of timber and attap construction, built within his pepper estate called Suffolk. Light settled in the estate until his death in 1794. On the purchase of the land from Light's estate in 1805, William Edward Phillips began the works of a Georgian-styled mansion called Suffolk Park. He was not, at the time of the mansion's construction, governor to the island, but became so in later years. It was an ostentatious statement in a settlement with barely 120 European residence, many of whom were trades people and merchants. The mansion subsequently served as the residence of several more early governors for less than a quarter century, including William Edward Phillips' father-in-law, Governor Ban...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=10471926 ...
